I only bought this because I already had the SATA Drives. I worked great in my dual MDD. I could have just bought regular ATA drives.
Plugged in and it worked.

I have a mac and the card intermitently cuts out and losses the drive I have connected to it. It spouts some crazy lettered error message to the system and that's it. You have to restart to get the drive back up. Very scary. Not sure how to fix this problem.

I own a 2001 Quicksilver G4 (OS X 10.4.1) that came with an 80 GB Western Digital Hard Drive. I do film work, so I need lots of space. I purchased a Seagate 300 GB Serial ATA Internal Hard Drive and this card (Sonnet's Tempo Serial 2-Port ATA PCI Adapter Card) was required for my Mac to read all 300 GBs.
